Experienced Parliamentary Staff
Hive Support regularly works with Members of Parliament across Westminster and the UK to provide experienced, short-term staffing support.
With increasing demand for interim cover - supported by IPSA’s staffing support fund and greater flexibility around secondments - we are expanding our pool of experienced parliamentary professionals who are available for short-term assignments.
These opportunities typically arise to cover:
Sickness absence
Annual leave
Short-term increases in workload
Interim support during recruitment processes
Assignments can vary in length, from a few weeks to several months, and may be offered on a full-time, part-time, or flexible basis. Some roles can be undertaken remotely, while others may require a Westminster or constituency presence.
Who we’re looking for
We are keen to hear from individuals who:
Have prior experience working in a parliamentary office
Can step into a role quickly and operate effectively with minimal onboarding
Are confident managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
Have strong drafting and communication skills
Experience may include:
- Casework
- IPSA and payroll processes
- Communications and press
- Research and policy
- Office management or Chief of Staff responsibilities
- Constituency support
Secondments and additional work
If you are currently employed by an MP, please note that your IPSA contract will require you to seek permission before taking on additional work. We encourage you to ensure you are clear on any contractual or procedural requirements in advance.
